I used to use Shelfari a lot then everyone switched over to Goodreads, and I joined but I felt too grumpy to put in all my books again. But I've had enough time to get over that, so I'm adding the books I read in the last semester and I'll start doing reviews as I go from now on.

Oh thanks! It worked, but it screwed up my ratings, since two stars in Shelfari at least while I used it meant you didn't like it, and on Goodreads it means it was okay, and five stars meant loved it but on goodreads its IT WAS AMAZING.

So, I looked into this again at the end of last year but got scared off by the fact that they encourage advertising/book promoting. I dislike having things pushed upon me. How does that work?

I'm mostly interested in collecting statistics, really. That means I do want to enter the exact copy I'm reading and lots of details (peferably I'd get information without entering everything manually). Having a shelf for every aspect seems really messy to me. Does anyone else use goodreads like that?

I'm not terribly good at being social (I refuse FaceBook and don't use my G+), but I poked around the public shelves of people on this page just to get a sense of what others are reading. My tastes seem to line up best with brian (although I couln't make it through Catch-22 and quite enjoyed Dune). Not sure if this info is helpful to me... I don't usually suffer from a lack of reading choices.

Are you one of those who remembers details about every book you read? I'm fascinated by people who can quote things from books they've read years ago. I do remember some details (and roughly what the book is about and what I thought of it), but rarely things like the names of the characters or stuff like that. Also I drew a complete blank when being asked about books featuring gay characters. Not because I haven't read them, I just don't find it an interesting enough detail to remember. Of course I also read a fair number of books each year (typically somewhere 50-70). I imagine it'd be easier to remember individual books if I only read a dozen or even less.

Fruitbat- I think you might like LibraryThing better. You can add details on everything and get very specific.

I did look into LibraryThing as well, but didn't really like that either. And must it be so eye-searingly ugly? Shallow complaint, I know. There was something else I didn't like about LT but I forget (something actually related to functionality or possibly privacy since I'm terribly paranoid).

Not really. Maybe more recent reads that I was really into, but even rereading something that I really forking loved the first time, I have many "don't remember that at all" moments.

I've added a few of you but I didn't send a message, sorry! My reading really slowed down before the holidays because I was trying to get all of my knitting projects done. I really need to get back into reading though.
